Skills Development Scotland-Low Carbon Skills Fund

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a key long-term target for Scotland. Businesses will need to become more energy efficient, reduce resource use, and adopt sustainable practices and processes.

But we know they might need new skills and training for their workforce in order to do that. That’s where the Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) comes in.

£5,000 towards training

The LCSF enables small businesses from any sector to access training in low carbon methods. Up to £5,000 is available. We refund up to 50% of employee training costs, up to a maximum of £1,000 per employee.
